PUT a gourmet fork into the marriage of New York Times columnist Harry Hurt III and restaurateur Alison Becker. The couple, who have a 10-year-old son, are selling their house in Sag Harbor, and Alison is giving up the lease on her eponymous eatery on School Street in Bridgehampton. She’ll be running the restaurant at the Maidstone Arms this summer, and looking for a space in downtown Manhattan for the fall. “It’s very amicable,” she told Page Six. Hurt, who covers “executive pursuits” for the Gray Lady, was recently seen on a Jet Blue in-flight channel trying to snowboard. The Texan has also tended bar, rolled cigars and bobsledded, and tried pingpong and circus clowning. The 450 guests at their 1993 wedding included Larry Hagman, Dominick Dunne, Elaine Kaufman, Campion Platt, Morgan Entrekin, Richard Price and the late George Plimpton, who opined, “Alison is a confident, strong, powerful, interesting woman. I’m sure they’ll have wonderful arguments.”
